FS: 91 525/2000 Galant VR4 Mint, Norwell, MA $7,500obo

525/2000 Nile Black I have owned this car for ~9yrs now and it’s time to sell. It’s been an awesome car but it needs to find a new home. Have original owner’s manual, brochure, all documentation/receipts since new and know all the previous owners/history. Car is registered, inspected, has a clean title and will be able to daily drive or drive long distances, no problem.

Car History: The first 110k of its life it spent traveling back and forth from MA to FL owned by a documentation conscious women. The wedge shop purchased it (VR4Coop)then sold it ~1yr later to a customer. I bought it from that customer about a year later after it was no longer running in 2004. I am the 4th owner and the current mileage is ~156k. This is a sunroof car although not an original since the original owner had it installed.

The car was built to be streetable, reliable, and clean for trips to carshows and boosting around town. Car has never been to the drag strip or autox’d. Great care, time, research, and attention to detail has been taken with every modification to the car. With exception of DSG making the intercooler and intake piping, all the work has been performed by myself or my father.

Car has been always garaged/covered since I have owned and almost always stored inside during the winters. It currently sits in my garage and has the past 3yrs on a trickle charger. Starts first try even when very cold out. No accidents with the exception of a parking lot bump which required the hood, bumper and front fender to be painted. With exception of the front end, the paint is original and is in excellent shape with only a few spots where the clearcoat peeling away on the trunk lid and roof.

Since I have owned it (~30k miles), it has only been towed once.. This was due to a faulty relay that was used with the fuel pump rewire. New tyco relay was installed and car is back to running reliably.

The only time the car was dyno’d ~6years ago at KTR on a dyno dynamics dyno and made ~250hp ~265ftlbs at the wheels, at 17psi with peaks ~4-5k. More boost, tuning, 660 injectors, hks cams/gears, and a few other items, should have bumped up the power past 300 but I have not dyno’d it to prove it. Not built to be a ground pounder, but very responsive, streetable, full boost before 3k, very fun car to boot around in.

From what I can remember, below is the mods list. Search my user name and you will find more info on the car as well.

Engine Management
Moates Ostrich with socketed ECU with all the usually features adjustable studderbox, nolift shift, etc.(Have many old EPROM keydiver tunes as well) Has been tuned by myself runs well in both cold and hot conditions, no knock, conservative. Could use a professional tune to squeeze out more power. Cam Gears should be adjusted to meet power preference.
Apexi AFC
Greddy profec-B boost controller (old school with knobs) 17psi low (but will creep) 23psi high mounted in ashtray

Misc
AC and cruise still installed. Will need to check if still working properly
Custom Covercraft Outdoor Cover
Brass replica keyfob from fellow forum member
Lots of subtle improvements
Have all kinds of pictures, receipts, research, intercooler calculations, CAPS, Motes Ostrich software, etc. etc. that will be included

Body Restoration
All wheel wells and entire underbody were ground down with a wire brush, cleaned and have at least 2 coats of 3M rubberized undercoat (might be 3 on wheel wheels but I can’t remember)
Painted side window, front and rear windshield molding
Personally cleaned every nook and cranny of this car, parts never went back on this car without being coated, painted or cleaned.

The issues with the car
Intermittent connections on drivers side junction box. Cluster resolved, but still working on the radio and HVAC. Transmission still shifts fine but should be rebuilt (stock replacement supplied)
Dent above fuel filler
Driver’s seat Seam by lower back has come apart, about ~1inch)

I have many many stock and misc parts around that I am willing to negotiate with buyer, or sell separately. Buyer will get first dibs if car sells within the next few months.

I have known this car for a long time and was the 2nd owner back in the early 2000's. This car was literally owned by an old lady (school teacher) who drove it down to FL and back during her time off. She was meticulous about maintenance and documentation.

I know Patrick and his father both very well and assure you that any car they have ever owned has been maintained to the utmost. They spare no expense when it comes to research about the car and parts they are going to use on it.

Lastly I have ridden in the car many times since Patrick and his father have owned it and can honestly say it is the nicest driving, handling and riding VR4 I have ever been in, including my previous car #222.

If I had the money I would buy this car tomorrow.

If you have any questions I wouldn't hesitate to give Patrick a call to talk through them, he is a great guy and would be more than happy to talk.
